Welcome to eWillys.com, a website for vintage jeep enthusiasts. I update this website nearly every day with jeep deals, jeep history, interesting reader projects, jeep related info, and more.
These quick searches can help you find things on eBay. People list in the wrong categories all the time, so don't be surprised to see brochures in the parts area for example.
The links to posts below show jeeps grouped by models, condition, and other ways. Some of these jeeps are for sale and others have been sold. If you are unsure whether a vehicle is still for sale or not, email me at d [at] ewillys.com for more info.
There are plenty of interesting, unusual, historic and surprising stories related to Jeeps and their owners. In addition, some of these features have nothing to do with jeeps. This link will display all featured stories starting from the latest.
Looking for parts and not sure where to go? There are a variety of large and small new and used parts sellers both online and offline.
Importantly, the allure of buying a project jeep can be romantic. The reality of restoring a jeep can be quite different, expensive and overwhelming without the right tools and resources. So, tread carefully when purchasing a "project". If you have any concerns about buying a vintage jeep, or run across a scam, feel free to contact me for help, comments or concerns .
More parts have been painted. On my next visit to Seattle (in a couple days?) I will be pulling the brakes to see what I need, checking the rear end, and working on the gas tank and readying that for installation.
Today I’ll be cleaning the and painting the bell housing and cleaning the generator and starter.
Was it a good idea to paint the friction surface of the flywheel? IMO, That will clog up and glaze the clutch disk, won’t it? Hope you plan to refinish it ‘bare’ before assembly.
Steve,
I was wondering if someone was going to ask that. I’m concerned about the rust on the flywheel surface and how much it has damaged the surface. I’ll remove the paint and see just how many low spots there are. This flywheel may be no good.
I’d take to the Machinist and see if it can be resurfaced/turned! You’d be surprised I think, in which direction I wouldn’t know. But keep chugging along so I can read of the adventures. I love that kinda stuff.
If you can find a machine shop with a table grinder you will be in good shape. If it has not been ground too many times in the past, I bet you can easily clean all of the pits off the surface. I have a table grinder buried in my shop, it is just a SHORT drive down to Tucson to use it…. 🙂 LOL
Well, now the paint will be a good indicator for the machinist to see when surface is flat. IMO, have the pressure plate surface done too for best clutch surface contact while you’re there. I agree, I love seeing the process. You’re making great progress. Thanks for sharing with us.
